Benjamin Wallfisch’s Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain
3-Mar-2015 - Co-written and directed by Ravi Kumar, Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain is a harrowing tale based on real events that happened exactly 30 years ago. The story follows young rickshaw driver Dilip who is lucky enough to get a menial job at the Union Carbide chemical plant of his hometown Bhopal. As Dilip gets ready for his sister’s wedding, an unforeseen tragedy unfolds. The original soundtrack album is being released by MovieScore Media and features The Chamber Orchestra of London recorded at Air Studios, conducted by Benjamin Wallfisch. Influences of local music are represented through the Tabla and the Bulbul Tarang (Indian Banjo) and an Indian flute playing the childhood theme which communicates life and hope. On the other hand, the score also features terrifying electronic textures representing the toxic chemicals suffocating the city. The album closes with the composer’s own end credits song, “A Prayer For Rain”, performed by Mary Lea. For more info and ordering, visit MovieScore Media.
